Good morning,
I have uploaded many paintings today, June 7th. Most are pan pastels except for the first one right below. That is acrylic on panel. I have been doing lots of painting and feeling really fine about the work I am doing right now. I am spending time in meditation as part of my painting process and also doing sketches during the quiet calm that follows. Colors have been almost choosing themselves and I have worked with a few paintings with unusual color couplings. Two of these are part of a series I am currently doing, in acrylic. When the third one is complete I will post the three of them here.

For thought: what is beneath the surface of apparent reality?

I will paint today, work on the third of my series which I haven't found a name for yet. It will arise from the work itself, when complete.

















Pan Pastel on Stonehenge paper.
Semi-abstract landscape

Pan Pastel on Art Spectrum paper.
This oil pastel was done on an unusual substrate that added quite a bit of texture to the painting.
